Nice. If they don't clip the matches, that leaves the wrestling just a little shy of 50 minutes, leaving a good half-hour for skits, etc.

Johnny who? I think even WCW would have had enough good sense not to bother with him.

The PS2 was damn expensive at launch, it had a shitty lineup (except for OMGTEKKENTAGRULZ), and the first consoles were buggy as all hell. It didn't stop Sony from dominating then, so I doubt that it's going to cause the PSP to bomb either. Who cares about Spider-Man 2 on UMD when you can get the damn DVD right now for under 10 bucks?

The one game I'm actually interested in on the entire list: Lumines™, Ubisoft I guess the PSP Viewtiful Joe was canned. Then again, maybe it'll come out later on, like I just *know* Devil May Cry has gotta be. Is there any reason for anyone who owns a PS2 and owns the analogs to those games to bother with this thing? Vampire Chronicles could be interesting depending on how the multiplayer support works, but it's still an old game. Plus I own Vampire Savior and the "HK special" DC version Vampire Chronicles, so meh. Note: For those unaware, Vampire Chronicles is basically to Darkstalkers 3/Vampire Savior what Hyper SF2: Anniversary Edition is to SFII.

I expect good sales and a crappy game.

2GOLD gets the gold star for calling it.

I scored a boxed/complete one for forty, and sold it for 90 bucks before. I also second that Matt's a deadbeat lazy phuck. No offense intended, of course.

Original Sheik, yes. The one related to Sabu. The Iron Sheik, no. WWE tries to avoid mentioned that angle or the circumstances from it, though. You'll sometimes see Hogan in vid packages legdropping and pinning Slaughter, but that's about it.

In all fairness, it isn't even close to being worth that much.

Most refurbs can have a warrantly tacked on pretty cheap. And you're not any more likely to have a refurbed PS2 conk out on you than a new slim-model one. The refurbs have been fixed up good as new if there were any problems with them, and in either case, Sony are a bunch of cheap-asses when it comes to manufacturing consoles. Why should they make quality hardware when people will just buy another when their old one craps out?

For anyone who has it and is using the fliptop--what swap disc you using? My magic-swap DVD is version 2.0. Is this one picky about it?

Great post, Downhome. Oh, don't know if it is true or not--but check out this interesting story about Boll... http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=2649 Oh, and from this person's experience, "Sanctimony" and "Heart of America" were supposedly crap too. Boll reminds me of Coleman Francis' nephew in that pic.

Already saw the interview and commented about it on another board. After seeing Alone in the Dark (for free, for mocking purposes only ) I wonder just how horrible Bloodrayne can be. Well...I guess I could look at it this way--he cast Tara Reid in AitD and apparently thought it would be able to stand up enough on it's own merits that she didn't have to get naked or show any skin on screen for that "sex scene." However, *this* movie...oh, it's gonna hurt. Wait a minute--okay, Alone in the Dark cost 20 million bucks in production budget alone, opened to just over 10% of that, and they gave him a 50 million dollar production budget?!?! Okay, I guess it's a little late for anything to be done about it (BR's in post now, I believe), but...damn.

I have *two* Movie Gallerys around here. Yeah, they do the buy-2, get-1 deal, and I believe they let you mix and match games and movies on it. They've had some good deals there, like a 30 dollar Halo 2, recently a 20 dollar Ninja Gaiden, some of the platform goodness titles for $15, and Soul Calibur 2 for $15 (these days no biggie, but they did it back before it went GHs I believe.) However, they take their sweet-ass time putting out pre-playeds. Does your Movie Gallery reek of window cleaner too?

Not for WWE. Mr. America--signed sight-unseen? Computer error. "Mmm..yeah...his contract actually expired last May, but he kept getting sent paychecks and making appearances...we never really noticed it expired."

I *know* there's a live action movie, but isn't there an anime too, and which one(s) are unavailable here?

When Milk Chan gets too gimmicky, it may not be entertaining, but the original ep (the Belgium Waffle one), the Punishment Missile ep, the one where the pigs tried to defect, nearly anyone with the robot dog in it, the ep with the killer bear on the loose, and the one where the President's cat ran away (which had plenty of disturbing lines in it...) all were hilarious. There's so many eps where they go for weird gimmicks and they may or may not turn out well. Back on topic, any announced released date for the Venture Bros. S-1 DVD?

ew

Perhaps I could, with a *small* service charge. Depends on if friends beat you to the offer. Yes and no. Our HV does "buy 2, get one free" for games. So in this case, you'd be paying $19.98 plus tax on 3 games.

My Hollywood video had they pre-played, in which must be either a computer error or a major change in their pre-played policy. And these are complete with the casings and everything, so it's as good as just about any pre-played EB/Gamestop game. Anyone else's Hollywood Video doing this? Yeah, Budokai sucks, but it's included. They also had the Spongebob Movie game have this same deal. Maybe HV is going to do this from now on with pre-played stuff, since I scored a couple Spyro: A Hero's Tails for 10 bucks too.

One of the creators has a blog and he was begging people to watch the Christmas Special back in December because it needed the ratings. They find out at the end of next month if it gets another season. Correction--I meant 600,000. That instance was on a weekday, though. Often on the weekend it usually places in the top 3 still. And the Christmas ep didn't get any advertising that I saw and wasn't on at the regular time, so meh. Oh, and I love Super Milk-Chan, hate TGTTM. *Shrug* I only saw two eps of TGTTM, but I guess that's all there are. They're running ads for Robot Chicken, which uses Action-Figure-mation. Could be interesting, but--come on, parodying Kill Bill now? Geez. Was it held back for about 2-3 months?

It could be worse. He could be fucking up GOOD video games. Oh, in a recent interview, we learn the whole reason Bloodrayne was made... Well, at least Yuna will be interested.

The ending to the first season was a sort of "out" in case Cartoon Network didn't renew the show...... Plus, they introduced Jonas Venture Jr., so even if Hank and Dean are dead the title still works... Well, Tom Goes to the Mayor has been getting decent ratings. I personally don't have a clue why. I hate it. Besides, that's one of the fifteen-minute specials anyway. Perfect Hair Forever is supposed to be getting more eps, though.

I don't know about that-- (from ShadalooSoldier's Noob-Smoke FAQ)
